The Road to Fame Quests (or Teen Idol). Unlocked at level 18 (if you started playing during/after the Teens Update)

They are straight forward and easy to do, but they take a lot of time with the music writing. Basically it is a 'tutorial' for the Music Writing hobby.

This is a time-limited quest, you're give 7 days (6 days and 23 hours remaining at the start. Unlocks: access to the Teen Idol Hobby, Teen Idol instrument actions and to build the Simtown Sign on the Town Map. Reward: Premium Teen Idol musical instrument pack (Available in the Online store if you didn't finish in time).

For the Music Writing hobby you'll need a Teen and various instruments. The first one you need is a keyboard. During the Road to Fame quest you are guided through how the Music Writing Hobby works, but I also added it here for completion of the hobbies guides.

This hobby is very different from any others. The collection can only be completed by using different instruments, one for each line of "music pieces". And more importantly only ONE teen can do it!

Each instrument comes in three star levels. With each line/instrument the time increases as well, 3 star keyboard takes 30 mins, whereas the 3 star microphone takes 3 hours! The instruments are unlocked during the Road to Fame quest.

There are too many questions that could have been avoided by simply looking a little around or using one's brain! I have posted a lot of useful information! Read it! Almost everything on this blog can be found by using the Pages section with the links within on the right. ---->

I can no longer spend my precious time on answering questions and nobody else (or very very rarely) answers any of the questions posted in the comments.

Maintaining this blog is a hobby, it started to look like becoming a support agent for free and it looks too much like work! I'm not employed by EA or Firemonkeys!!!

Therefore I have closed the comments for this blog, if you are having trouble, please use the unofficial forum, there are many people there who can and likely will answer your questions: http://simsfp.perturbee.net

A lot of confusion can be avoid by simply reading what the panels say. I know there are a lot of people racing through menus and pop-ups, but reading them DOES HELP!

I took one of my Sims, had them pack their pickup truck with a pile of LPs and went to travel to other towns in order to rake in those precious SPs. Two full days of ploughing through the Social Goals, along with some travelling back and forth to exchange the Sim for a pre-teen or someone with the right skills. But the result was here yesterday. The official forum (and people on my GC/FB friendlists) had the first looks. Now I finally found some time to sit down and upload my pictures here.

First you'll need to build the Snow Park:

Alternatively use a pool and a weather machine to freeze the pool to skate on it.

Note: as of the Neighbours Update it is possible to start and do every hobby in a neighbour's town, provided they do have the requirements.

How to get the most out of your sims when sending them to work? I've wondered about that. Some of the employment hours are very attractive to send a sim away for a few hours without needing attention and earning a nice bit of money and XP in the long term.(Last update February 2015).
